Mountain bike trail

A medium-hard one-day bike ride. Silver Meadow is an island of grass surrounded by forest. Look for the insect-eating pitcher plants in the meadow, a sign of poor soil.

The seasonal waterhole has water most months, but not all. During the daytime you are unlikely to see animals, but your guides will help you spot and identify any tracks.

Loom Stream mountain community has banana plantations often visited by elephants. See the 500 year-old burial jars from a little-known civilization whose descendants may still live in the area. Stop at Betel Nut waterfall for lunch and a swim.

On the way back, take optional detours to High Waterfall or Bodhi Tree rapids.
